Greetings! I finished building my new computer today and I gotta say it went smoother than my first build, 5.5 years ago. The case is smaller than my old computer's case, but roomier. I could fit another motherboard inside with room to spare. Perhaps I should've gone with a smaller, mATX case...

Greetings! I picked up my second delivery today, and while I'm excited about building the new computer, the motherboard and CPU are still pretty cold and foggy, and need to warm up a little. I'll get back to you soon.

Hello, It took me quite a while to decide on the parts. I hope my choices were indeed as great as you say. Thank you for the cooler suggestion. I found it on a local retailer's website, but sadly they're selling it for almost double the price. In any case, the new computer can't possibly be...

Hello! I decided to pull the trigger and placed my orders today. Here's the parts list: CPU: Intel Skylake Core i5 6400 2.70GHz box MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2H RAM: Kingston 16GB, DDR4, 2133MHz, CL15 SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SATA-III 2.5 inch PSU: Corsair CX450M, 450W, 80 PLUS BRONZE...

Greetings! I'm glad there's a fix for the graphics glitches. I might have to use it. I was reading some of the older threads, and stumbled upon @rwillett 's post here. My current computer, the Phenom build I mentioned in my first post, uses a Sapphire Radeon HD 6770. Do you think I could use...

Hello again! I found a stick of Kingston ValueRam (16GB) that's a bit cheaper than the two HyperX sticks combo thing. Would it work? And if so, would it have any negative influence on performance? Still can't find a decent graphics card on sale. Would it be a bad idea to just run the system on...

Greetings! I did some more parts hunting, and decided to switch the MOBO to a GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2H. Still undecided about the graphics card. I might go over budget and grab a 4GB one from the buyer's guide.

Thanks for the info! The Strix line does seem a bit more expensive, but I'll keep it in mind.

Hi aztlan78, and thanks for replying! I've been browsing my local, more reputable retailers' websites for a few hours now in search for parts. Thanks to your suggestion, I managed to find an ASRock H170M Pro4 on sale. I noticed it's also mentioned on the November edition of the buyer's guide...

This is the first time I'm posting, but I've been lurking for a while trying to learn a thing or two about hackintoshes. I've decided to build my own macOS-powered machine before New Year's. This would be the second time I'm building a computer - my first was an AMD Phenom II X4 955 build that...
